Tell you what dawg, that guy can put the hurt on the lmb cavalry and has many a time. I like what So Cal does with his tube a lot, but I like what he does with a rod and reel a whole lot more. The man can fish! If I could just get his axx in a toon he would really kick butt.

Man, after seeing what I've done to a tube, I'm afraid of what I can do to a toon. If I ever got into one, you better believe it will be battle ready and worthy of the darkside. Thanks for the kind words dawg. We gotta get a floatilla out there soon.

Bassman,
Very nice setup! Two changes I made to my setup were moved the rods to behind the seat. In this layout I have access to land or fight a fish from either side of the tube. The other change I made and is a MUST is going to AA batteries for my FF/GSP unit. I used a re-charge battery like yours for my Kayak and hated the weight and those times I would forget to charge since the recomend completely drain before each charge. I will try to post photos but the weight is reason enough. You can get an 8 or 10 AA battery tray from Radio Shack for less than $3.00.

In no way am I trying to dis your ride as it is truly awsome, just something to think about!

Thanks man. I tried the AA thing, but it didn't last as long as I hoped and I got tired of buying batteries. Honestly, the weight of the battery doesn't bother me, it's the weight of all the tackle I have on there that gets me.

Sweet, thanks for the info! Great write up, and I'll use this for sure when I start my mods to my toon.

No prob man. Can't wait to see your tricked out toon.

I think that I am going to do the same thing for mine and make some rod holders.
